When officers arrived, they identified Chavez as the person the 911 caller described. Police said Chavez dropped a backpack on the ground before pulling out a large knife from his waistband and turning it toward officers.
Police said they later determined that Chavez was the person that made the two 911 calls and was describing himself.
The audio and footage was uploaded to YouTube in both narrated and raw versions in compliance with a policy that requires the San Antonio Police Department to make its “critical incident videos” public within 60 days or provide an explanation as to why not.
